His chance comes at this year's Holder's Season which starts March 6th 1997. This year's festival features performances of La Traviata, a Russian gala and Inkle and Yarico, an opera first written and performed in Barbados in the 1800's and being revived here.
The piece de resistance of the festival is the March 29th Pavarotti concert when the world-famous tenor will be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This exciting performance will take place in the natural open-air amphitheatre in the immaculate grounds of Holders House.
Perhaps
no other opera singer in history has achieved the household recognition
of the tenor Luciano Pavarotti. On stage, in recordings, on television,
in film, performing a role or living the life of a bon vivant, he has captivated
hundreds of millions of people throughout the world, reaching more listeners
than any other opera singer in history. His unprecedented fame rests not
only on his exuberant personality; his voice is one of the glories of our
age, luscious and full-bodied, almost shockingly resonant, unmistakable
from the first note.
